This is the second of seven videos in the TI Precision Labs – Op Amps curriculum that addresses operational amplifier stability.  In the previous training, we discussed the types of issues that op amp stability can cause in production systems as well as how to identify issues in the lab.  

This video will provide a brief review of Bode plots and basic stability theory using phase margin and rate of closure analysis.  It is important to thoroughly understand these concepts before proceeding with the video series. Please be sure you’ve completed the lectures and problem sections for Op-Amp Bandwidth one through three before proceeding.

After watching the video, reinforce your learning with the following bonus content:

• Take the multiple choice quiz
• Complete the short answer exercises
